“These forums are a need of the hour when the topic of gender equality is of such great importance in recent times. It’s very important to empower future generations on how to be successful entrepreneurs without holding any bias,” Lulla said in a statement.

“I will be talking about creating and harnessing developmental goals in order to become a self sustained entrepreneur in a highly competitive marketplace at the forum,” Lulla added.

In partnership with the Government of the United States of America, NITI Aayog is hosting GES in India.
